How to make an alarm clock

[timothyleesnipe]

Hey guys we can use the ( timeOfDay) feature on turing to ecract the time from the computer into our program, however it stays the same it does not move forward like a clock. how do we make it into an actual fully operating clock? better yet an alarm clock thae need for a comp sci project? please and thank you lol

What do you mean by this? If you are only getting the value once then of course it's not going to change on you. Look into loops: http://compsci.ca/holtsoft/doc/loop.html and delays: http://compsci.ca/holtsoft/doc/time_delaysincelast.html
It appears as if this document: http://compsci.ca/holtsoft/doc/time_date.html shows you how to get the time portion of the date, combine the 3 things I linked and you have a clock.

Turing:

loop     put Time.Date     Time.DelaySinceLast (1000)     cls end loop

Yes
